"I think that most people would like to live inside if that was something that they could do. A lot of people have multiple obstacles to living inside so they kind of lose hope," explained Michele Forrest, the Co-Founder of Street Watch.

Street Watch helps the people right now with things like blankets, tents, tarps, warm clothing, and food.

They also help them for a better future too by getting them access to things like substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, and medical treatment.

For Michele and her team, it's about maintaining friendships with "tent city" residents.

"It's a lot easier to help somebody do the next thing when you have a relationship with them especially when they have such overwhelming issues in their life."

Michele Forest said there are three tent cities in Greensboro. She thinks there are roughly 100 people living in the streets.
